In the US, anything you create is automatically copyrighted and you have full rights to decide who does what with it, unless you explicitly waive those rights, even if you post it publicly on the Internet.
Too many people seem to think that just because something’s public it means they’re allowed to do whatever they want with it. That’s incorrect. The only barrier is whether someone you copy from is willing to bring legal action.
- zdragnar 4y agoThere are a number of exceptions to copyright, and at least in the US, the supreme court's understanding of "transformativeness" applies to chatgpt and other similar tech. The relevant quote, originally written in 1990 and cited in 94, is thus: " [If] the secondary use adds value to the original--if the quoted matter is used as raw material, transformed in the creation of new information, new aesthetics, new insights and understandings--this is the very type of activity that the fair use doctrine intends to protect for the enrichment of society. " We've wandered into uncharted legal territory with only a few light posts guiding the way. Nothing about this is settled or obvious.
